Most of the Western world has transferred its manufacturing sectors to China. Every single day, Chinese container ships ply the world's oceans, fanning out to every continent except, maybe, for Antarctica. We've long known that those ships are carrying cheap goods and the West's economic destruction, but The Sun is contending that those same ships are likely to be disguised missile launchers.
Here's the main part of the story, although you should visit The Sun to read the whole thing:
CHINA has been secretly developing Trojan Horse-style missiles hidden in shipping containers that can be unleashed on enemy ports, experts warn.
Military analysts believe the country's huge fleet of freighters and fishing vessels could be turned into warships with the use of the secretive container missiles.
Disguised as a regular shipping containers, they can be sneaked on board a vessel to blend in seamlessly with the hundreds of others on board.
The sheer number of container ships in the world makes them harder to pinpoint than warships in the event of war.
Like the fabled Trojan Horse, the missiles would be quietly smuggled into or near an enemy port on a civilian vessel before being unleashed in a surprise attack.
Rick Fisher, senior fellow in Asian military affairs at the International Assessment and Strategy Center, told The Sun Online while Chinese have not officially confirmed they have the missiles — it is likely they have them.
Nor is this a far-fetched conspiracy theory. In 2016, at a Zhuhai air show, China paraded missile launchers that are meant to be hidden in the containers used on cargo ships. America's commercial ports would be a perfect target because they are undefended.

Wouldn’t the viruses be neutered when the missiles land and explode in the ports?

There are some updated conversations regarding the sampan civilian navy internal migration approach.

The chinese will send a sampan navy with 10million “internal migration” civilians armed with CNN uplinks, cameras, and bullhorns. When they get mowed down by our side, the resulting negative PR will be amplified by the chinese knocking out 2 of our aircraft carriers in the blockade with their hypersonic ICBM thermally guided antiship missiles.
America will luze stomach for the fight over what it already calls an internal province of China. Taiwan has never declared independence.
About a third of civilians in Taiwan are ethnic Chinese and maybe only half of them have loyalties and fifth column tendencies towards communist China. They have hundreds of thousands of cargo ships they can fill with civilians armed with cameras, CNN uplinks, and bullhorns.
The resultant slaughter will be live on CNN and the PR backlash will be enough to let China walk right back into their own internal (never did declare independence) province. If we blockade them, they’ll lob thermal-capable antiship ICBM missiles at our aircraft carriers and CNN will record them sinking to the bottom of the sea with the resultant nuclear plume.
America will luze stomach for the fight after luzing a couple $Trillion in carriers and tens of thousands of men in one afternoon, all seen on CNN, with our recourse being... to slaughter civilians. China has all the cards, they just have to lay them down on the table at this point.
And when it’s all over but the shouting, the RINOs and GOPes and democraps will be handwringing, hoping for a quick way to order chinese chips & electronics from Amazon. The chinese want the continued business of globalists so it’ll all be “can’t we just get along” and “water under the bridge” as soon as China is in charge and chips are shipping.

Under that scenario, nukes are not needed. Use of HE would cripple the ports for some time!
America is not the entire world.
While I am aware that out military is losing its edge I still don’t get the irrational fear of China. It’s capabilities are constantly over exaggerated. Red China is just another nasty bullying communist nation. They have no chance of ruling the world. They are Han Chinese racists and they’ll be lucky to hold China itself together with this lunatic Caesar in charge.
It’s the only reasonable way to respond.
“But we had an agreement” doesn’t work when one side cheats all agreements.
Easter Seals?
If we were aware of this problem in 2004, we certainly are aware of it now.
“They don’t need to put them on a Chinese ships. Any container ship would work if that is their plan.”
Then any container ship that continues to accept Chinese containers would become fair game.
Hitler made a decision to invade russia cutting off valuable supplies for Germany.
Nothing sells containerized missiles like sex!
Unless INS guided, missiles are virtually useless without targeting radars.
They won’t even know which direction to fly.
Though SOME sophisticated missiles have their own radar onboard, and some have navigation, they are fairly rare in numbers due to cost.
Speaking of cost, I’m sure China has considered the cost of an attack on the US mainland and found it very high. Even most Democrats would be all in for total war.
And isn’t China buying up all the ports in the US?
Yikes! Their evil knows no bounds. Maybe having Buttegieg at home learning how to breastfeed his babies instead of doing his job has actually been a positive thing. If the ships with Trojan horses are stuck out to sea instead of offloading in CA we may be safer.
I read a story on Kindle that had the Iranians using container ships to launch an EMP strike on the USA. It’s not an original idea but it sure would be hard to defend against.
“Container ships from China would never be allowed in port without inspection during war-time”
That’s probably true. If they’re doing it now in peace time it’s much smarter. Leave the containers in well-researched and -chosen locations for use at a later date. The CCP has no problem playing a waiting game; they’re very patient.
“Not with an Øbowel or Bidet squatting in the oval office.”
OK, good point.
OR ... they could unleash a deadly virus on the world.
True. AH also over-ruled his generals to keep the railroads for moving Jews to the death camps.. instead of taking needed munitions and K-rations to his beleaguered troops at the front
but I doubt that the Communist Chinese will be as crazy
yet, your point is well taken.. anything is possible when dealing with dangerous dictators
